Bobby Portis starting for Bucks Thursday in place of D.J. Augustin (personal)
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis is in the lineup Thursday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Starting point guard Jrue Holiday has been sidelined for the last week due to the NBA's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. And his replacement, D.J. Augustin, is out Thursday due to a personal issue. In their stead, the Bucks will now employ a big starting five including Portis alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez.
Our models project Portis for 10.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 22.3 FanDuel points across 20.2 minutes of action.
